KARELE KA HALWA

Karela has various therapeutic properties and it is one of the healthiest vegetables. My mom-in-law used to make a variety of dishes with bitter gourd during my pregnancy and post delivery. This halwa is one of them. She added extra ghee and dry fruits but here I have reduced the quantity.

Such recipes when cooked by elders of family always remain a treasure! I Love bitter gourds in any form but have never tasted a halwa. I see lovely ingredients like poppy seeds, khoya and almonds which might have done great justice in reducing the bitterness and lending a great taste. Loved the effort and kudos for the attempt.
